A great documentary on the history of black folks in horror movies. Informative, well done, and inspiring. ★★★★★

By the first African American artist to receive national & international recognition: Robert S. Duncanson (1821–1872), Minneopa Falls, 1862, oil on canvas, Cincinnati Art Museum. A nearly identical work is in the Milwaukee Art Museum. #blackart #blackartist #blackartists #BlackHistory #art

From Fine Art America: “Painted in 1862, Minneopa Falls, Minnesota is a captivating example of Robert S. Duncanson's ability to capture the hidden gems of the American frontier. This work features the double waterfall of Minneopa Creek, nestled within a lush, densely wooded limestone valley. Duncanson expertly depicts the sheer drop of the primary falls in the foreground, with its curtain of white water contrasting against the dark, cool shadows of the rocky gorge. A smaller, secondary cascade is visible in the distance, partially veiled by the thick forest canopy. In the lower left, a solitary Indigenous figure stands in quiet observation, a common Romantic trope used to emphasize the scale and untouched purity of the wilderness. The interplay of dappled sunlight filtering through the trees and the soft mist rising from the basin creates a tranquil, atmospheric scene that highlights Duncanson's mastery of the Hudson River School style.”

In July 1852, Evans and I escaped Powell's turpentine shanties in Cumberland County, NC. Powell knew where to look, near Little River in Wake County, where both our wives lived. We risked everything to reunite with them. My name was WASHINGTON. #slavery #blackhistory

$50 REWARD. RANAWAY from the subscriber, in Cumberland County, on the 30th July, two negro men, Washington and Evans. I have no doubt they are lurking about Little River, near Joseph Fowler's, in Wake county, where they both have wives, or about my plantation in the same neighborhood. I will pay the above reward of Fifty Dollars for the delivery of the said negroes at my Shanties near Murchison & Johnson's Turpentine Distillery on the Plank Road, 20 miles west of Fayetteville, or half of the above reward for either one of them. JOS. [Joseph] D. POWELL. Cumberland, Aug. 9, 1853[sic]. 293--wtf.

A new Dallas museum exhibit opens today to challenge the myth of an all-white Wild West. After emancipation, Black cowboys helped drive cattle across the frontier—roughly 1 in 4 trail cowboys. #BlackHistory #history #museum #historynews #afamhistory www.dhhrm.org/press-releas...
